arrangements had been completed by
which the money was secured to build the

Mr. w. Nj. COnklin, representing syn

interested in the construction of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas 81 Southwestern railroad pur-
chased on last Saturday, through Major
Hood, of this city. forty one acres Of land
Of Mrs SlOcum lying about one mile south
east of the town for 5000 per acre. This
purchase is significant of the confidence
which is cherished by eastern capitalists in
the future Of Emporia and will tend to
further stimulate the desire which already
prevails to such wide extent in Emporia to
secure eligible real estate at present price.
These reports seem to be perfectly reas-

the best assurances that the men proposing
to build this road were Of the right stripe

PERMANENT FAIR GROUNDS.

| To the Editor Of the Eagle
The writer who is as the saying goes only
"a tender foot" recently located here has
read the various suggestions advanced
through the columns of the EAGLE and other
newspapers of the city. regarding the need
of fair exposition and trotting associations.
Assuredly such institutions are needed in
every city of commercial importance, and
judging from the extent of territory and
the future prosperity not only Of Wichita
but also the comfy adjacent to her. Wichita
is indeed sadly in need of such enterprises.
From my personal experience with such
enterprises have found that where fair
association Is located at one point and
trotting association In another direction
exposition grounds in another location, base
ball grounds somewhere else, It naturally
divides up the business and the results not
go great as when all are combined into one
grand organization Naturally several To-
cations have pointed out, which may and
may not have all the desirable advantages
for such an enterprise Az have
No lots to sell would suggest that the
grounds be selected somewhere along the
Arkansas river within two or three miles
from Douglas avenue and Main street. |
The grounds should contain from 20 to 100 |
acres should have several acres Of groves |
or timber land Accessible to all modes |
Of conveyance and to the water. ges and
electric service Of your city. As bust
ness investment alone it would double its
value inside of three years, besides the
benefit of increase In property wherever
located. Every merchant of your city |
would be benefited by such an institution
every six months in the year. Thousands
of visitors would be attracted daily from
the cities and towns throughout Kansas as
well as from the states adjacent to her.
Just imagine to yourself the number of
people that could be attracted to this city
On the national holiday, refer to the ever
glorious 4th Of July. by simply annou nc
ing throughout the state that the Declare
ton of Independence would be read from
the grand stand at the exposition grounds,
and erations by Kansas representative men,
racing amusements, ETC., closing with q
grand pyrotecnic display with other sports
sandwiched in, which are too Numerous to
mention. What is worth doing at all Is
worth doing well" is an old saying and
true one, 80 let the ge-ahead spirits Of
Wichita commence at once to build one of
the greatest enterprises which would add
more to the wealth Of your city and citi
zens than any other corporation In your
midst. Stand not upon the order Of doing,
but do it at once. Delays are dangerous
and procrastinstion is the thief Of time. l

SQUEALING.

The w. c.. T. u and not few extreme

because conscientious, honorable druggists
will make no effort to procure permit
under the Murray law, passed last winter
Some of the papers declare that the drug
gi.ts are refusing as mere spitework. We
guess not A man who is in the legiti-
mate drug business can't afford to sell one
drop of liquor under that Murray law. All
of its provisions are humiliating and de-
grading to the mind Of any honorable or
right-thinking man. The law holds every
druggist to be a depraved villain. destitute
Of decency and devoid of judgment.
Mrs. Rastle, the mouthpiece of the W.
c. T. T., has issued the following mani
festo, TO which there is no point so long %
self-respecting druggists refuse to ask or
have anybody sign petition granting them
the privilege of extraordinary chances for

THE pledge OF the w. C. T. c. stands
for disuse of alcoholics for all purposes.
As an organization we do not believe their
use necessary at any time on any occasion.
and we stand pledged to discourage their
use everywhere and for every purpose. But
We are also lawabiding citizens. We have
secured a good law based upon constitu-
tionsl provisions. We desire the strict obser-
vance of that law Now, if every good
person resolves not to comply with Its re-

will be issued to some one) are
given only to men who will sell
liquor as provided by law; /. e.. for the ex-
cepted purposes only: If every good per
son refuses to sign these petitions, what
will be the result? The required number
of signatures will be secured and by the
worst of our lawless druggists. and none
